Lincoln's latest in the brand's new-product assault—a strategy that aims to bring prestige back to the brand—is the compact Corsair, which will replace the aging MKC for the 2020 model year. The 2020 Lincoln Corsair will face stiff competition from established contenders such as the Audi Q5, the BMW X3, and the Mercedes-Benz GLC-class when it reaches dealer showrooms this fall. Two turbocharged four-cylinders from the MKC will carry over; that means either a 250-hp 2.0-liter or a 280-hp 2.3-liter four-cylinder; both engines come with an eight-speed automatic transmission. With the smaller engine, buyers can choose from either front- or all-wheel drive but opting for the 2.3-liter engine brings all-wheel drive as standard. When we tested the MKC with the smaller of the two engines back in 2015, it delivered an adequate-but-unexciting 7.3-second zero-to-60-mph time; an MKC with the 2.3-liter fared much better with a 6.6-second time. Lincoln has confirmed that a Corsair plug-in hybrid model but it won't be available at launch. The 2020 Corsair boasts a handsome cabin that appears right in line with other SUV offerings from Lincoln such as the Navigator, the Nautilus, and the Aviator, with soft leather and plenty of features. An 8.0-inch touchscreen running Lincoln's Sync 3 infotainment system is standard; a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster is optional. Adjustable ambient lighting, 24-way power-adjustable "Perfect Position" seats, a 14-speaker Revel audio system, a head-up display, and an app that allows users to unlock, lock, and start the vehicle with their smartphone are all available. Surprisingly, Lincoln says a Black Label model of the Corsair is not in the cards. The Beyond Blue interior theme shown at the Corsair's debut at the New York auto show will be offered, though, and adds turquoise-colored leather to the dashboard, door panels, and seats.
